Security device for controllers…but why?

Maybe most of you are not aware of it but there’s an expo currently happening at the Taipei World Trade Center in Taiwan known as Computex 2007. Generally, the show is for displaying new computer hardware and peripherals but time and again, we find something of interest or of value to the video game community.

Like this one for example: company SINOX introduced this rather sleek and interesting security device for game controllers. Despite that being said, we believe that the product is only compatible with PlayStation 2’s controller and with PS3’s SIXAXIS. This thing is attached at the controllers’ analog sticks and is protected by a three-digit number combination.

To be quite frank though, it’s kind of amusing whenever companies come up with this kind of devices. Does this mean there’s a need to lock controllers? I mean, I have my saved games deleted or tinkered with by my sister every now and then but still… Oh well, as they say, whatever floats your boat.
